Running Android Revolution 5.2.3.
Problem:
I connect my inspire 4G to my PC via USB, and the computer (windows 7) doesn't recognize it. Nothing in the device manager. The phone's LED does light up upon connection to the PC, and it does charge. PC stopped recognizing the phone within the past 48 hours.
What I have done to the phone recently:
I did a vision_wipe_efs on the phone using the "safe" method to attempt to fix the GPS problems I was having. Note that I have used this method many times before with no ill effects. The phone might have already had the problem prior to wiping GPS data.
Solutions tried:
Tried two different micro USB cables.
Tried two different computers.
Installed the latest CM7 nightly (147), problem still persists.
Any ideas?
i also tried booting the phone into recovery and mounting usb storage. didn't work.
just installed the stock ATT RUU by extracting the zip from the exe, renaming it PD98IMG, and booting the phone into bootloader. Still doesnt work.
On your computer,download the drivers from the stickies then connect

drivers are already installed--but you dont need the drivers to access the mass storage mode of the phone. you only need them for HTC sync and USB tethering
You never stated what you was needing to connect for

whoops. fair enough
common problem for the inspire.
try these 2 things
1. Pull the SD card out of the phone and then reinsert it. Its what got my buddies phone connecting to his comp again.
2. If 1 doesnt work, if you have java installed, uninstall it and then reboot your comp and get rid of Sync off your computer if you have it(leaving the drivers of course). Reboot one more time and then connect your device. it's what worked for me.
edit: i know 2 seems kinda weird (at least imo), but if i install java on my computer(which ive done after to test if my theory was right), my phone wont connect to my computer anymore. so, i go java-less.
May be a dumb question, but what option do you have selected under Settings > Connect to PC > Default Connection Type ? If it's set to a default of Charge Only, and you told it not to ask you again, that could be the root of the problem.
You seem to know what you're doing and you seem to be screwed. Try uninstall sync and all HTC drivers then uninstall anything that says Java like the Guy said above. Then reinstall jre and plug your phone in and let windows install thd drivers. You also might want to run diagnostics and try a different port. The SD card has nothing to do with it because it wont charge.
Your last resort should be unrooting it and reverting to stock ROM, kernel, radio and RIL. Make sure there is no trace of a root. Then you should do a warrenty claim because your inspire seems defective.

Nah it's set to ask on connection. Also tried setting it to USB mass storage, and no dice.

Uninstalled sync, java, all htc drivers and still nothing. Looks like i'll be going back to stock and S-ON, and returning it to HTC!
I just bought an Atrix since I kind of knew I would have to warranty the inspire. The screen is a lot brighter, the battery life isn't going to suck balls (1830mah vs 1250mah on the inspire!), the quality of the speaker is miles better than the inspire, and GPS got a lock in downtown within a few seconds (where my inspire 4g would never see more than 2 or 3 satellites!).
I'll just get a refurb inspire sell it, and keep the Atrix.
Thanks for the help guys.

How can you unroot it with pc not recognizing?
Thanks
by flashing the stock RUU. When you start the RUU tool just search your comp for a file called rom.zip. Rename it to PD98IMG.zip, and start your inspire in bootloader mode. It will install from there.
Also, does anyone know how to restore S-ON without going through my PC?
You can type this in terminal emulator
cd /data/local
./gfree -s on
sync
This is from mudknot sticky.

I've had this problem for a long time but doesn't happen anymore after buying a new usb cable.
Idk if it was the cable. I re-rooted my phone as well.

I have two cables that both used to work with my inspire, and continue to work with my Atrix...so i'm pretty certain it isn't the cables.

Tried that, doesnt work. Just says cannot find gfree.
I cannot follow mudknot's sticky as it requires the phone to be plugged into the PC.
Hi, all
I got a new inspire 4g last week. It was working fine. But now it does not detect the USB connection. It only charges when I connect to pc. No other issues. I have also noticed that during fast boot mode also pc does not detect the phone as a device. I have tried all the suggestion on xda but no luck.
Please help me to solve this issue. I have seen a lot of thread discussing this issue on HTC Desire. They all suggest to format mtd0 in fastboot mode .But during fastboot mode also my phone is not detected by PC (tried both on linux and win7. Other phones are working on the same pc) , So I could not format mtd0 and reconfigure it.
Can anybody have any other idea? If I change the main board how much cost will incur ??
Thanks all.
EDIT:
I have full access to recovery. Currenlty Clockwork mod 5.0.2 is installed . I can install custom rom without any problem.

Thanks for your reply. But there is no issue with driver because my phone does not detect the usb connection as well as the pc also does not detect the phone as a device ( in device manager in windows or in demesg in linux).
Please help..
Edit:
Today I have tested with another Inspire 4g (My friend is having one inspire 4g) with my pc. It is detected by my pc ( both in linux and windows). Fastboot as well as adb worked like charm. But my inspire is not detected by the same PC..
I have the same problem with my Inspire and yet to find the answer. Have tried everything i could find on the internet except a factory reset. If i cant fix it, will trade off for a Galaxy sii i guess.
I had the same issue a while back. Believe it or not, the USB cable just up and flaked out on me. I bought a new cable and it worked fine afterwards. Of course that was my last thing to check, but I had the cable for about 6 months. I travel a lot, so I think wear and tear got the best of it. It's worth checking...
swap usb cables, also canned air to the usb port on the phone wouldnt hurt
This just happened to my inspire as well. Charge is OK, but no more Mass Storage connection. I have tried on multiple computers and multiple cables. I even reset the phone back to stock and it still didn't work. Oh well. I have a Vivid on the way.

Inspire 4g not connecting to usb
I just got my Inspire 4G from AT&T... and guess what... no data connection at all. I tried everithing! nothing... so I just bought a new micro usb data cable!!! and voila!! everithing is going perfect... now i´m able to connect!!!

ATT ships an HTC data cable. They do not ship a charge only cable. Most likely you just got a bad cable.
I was following (like an idiot) the instructions for the Advanced Ace Hack Toolkit.
I uninstalled the My HTC phone that was listed in mY Device Manager
64 bit Windows 7 Pro.
Now, no matter what drivers I try to browser for, my computer cannot find a driver for 'Android Phone' when searching.
The HTC Drivers 3.0.0.0.7 installer doesn't seem to do anything, and crashes, saying it's not installed correctly.
Has anyone had this happen, and can correct it?

Agreed with Ago, you likely have a bad cable. please dont confuse new users. I would go back to att and get them to replace it.

First, I would like to know what part of following the instructions causes you to be an idiot?
Second, did you uninstall HTC sync?
Third, I would like to know IF you have tried running the installer as an admin OR if when you run the installer, it has the user account control pop-up asking about changes and the computer (or if you have disabled that through user accounts)
(Oh and I used AAHK's same driver installer on my Windows 7 x64 computer without an issue... sooooooooooooo it's likely a local issue, such as needing to verify the download's checksum, disabling antivirus [something about the first line where in the same section as uninstalling drivers], etc)
AND, a tool like at this page might help a litte... http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/view-the-list-of-installed-drivers-the-easy-way/
or if you wanna command line it...
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...t-of-installed-drivers-from-the-command-line/
No joy my end either trying to install that HTCDriver3.0.0.007 on a Wind'ohs 7 x64 Shuttle
In certificates under options for this installer, "This certificate has expired or is not yet valid" Valid from 11/ 01/ 2011 to 17/ 01/ 2012". Can anyone help me to locate a driver that I CAN install to let me unlock a HTC Desire please?
Alright, here's the low down...
My Thunderbolt does not recognize in ANY computer (Ubuntu Linux, Mac OS X, Win XP, and Windows 7.
Device Manager comes back with Unknown Device (USB NOT RECOGNIZED)
Yes I've Tried...
Factory Data Reset
HTC Drivers
ADB Drivers
Downgrade to RUU 2.11.605.5 (and it worked but did not fix pc recognizing phone)
Every sort of Windows Update Fix/Fix it program
Kicker...no Warranty purchased the phone off Craigslist
Anyway to root without a PC? I know from the 24 hours of Web Searching and asking as many people that know anything about a computer have shown that its faulty hardware...
Can I customize an RUU to install a different recovery? Include CWM in recovery.img in a signed ruu update?
Big donation to the Dev who comes up with a root apk...
Anyone help...root-a-holic in need!
I dont believe that this phone could be rooted that way. Have you tried a different data cable?

Edit:
This problem has been solved. For any of you that are having issues with ADB recognizing your phone, even after you have uninstalled and reinstalled the correct drivers (As I had done several times on 2 computers), a factory reset might be your answer. So, if you are on ICS leak, and the last thing you want to do is try to FXZ back to 2.3.6...Try wiping data/factory reset first. It solved my problem once and for all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, I must say that I have already found similar threads of this type, and some even with solutions, but I still cannot fix this problem.
I am on ICS Leak on my AT&T Atrix 2 and everything is running great, aside from one thing. I cannot get my computer to recognize my device. When I plug it in, it will charge, but I get no USB options in my notification bar on my phone. I have tried other solutions, and I have installed the necessary drivers, (Windows 7), I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and rebooted with no luck. If anyone could help me, that would be great! Let me know if any more details are needed...
Recognition problem solved. Root script still hanging at *daemon started successfully*
Debugging is on, Stay awake on, Install from unknown sources on, drivers installed, what else could be the problem?
I had to uninstall drivers and all moto services. Then plug in phone let it look for install drivers. It failed on one of them. I then installed the moto portal disconnected my phone, rebooted computer and phone, plugged it back in and it worked. Good luck.

I'm guessing you are trying to root?
if you are, the script takes a while to run your phone will reboot several times it will tell you when it is done

adb devices command showing your device? If so, try again.. and wait, like drgravy said.
Or do what leif said and switch between the 3 different usb connection types and wait for the drivers to install.. and try putting it in mtp or ptp mode to run the root batch file..

Sorry about the new thread. Blame it on the n00b status. I have rooted with this method before on the same model phone with ICS leak and it worked after a few unsuccessful tries. It usually shows some activity in the command prompt, but this time it is hanging at *daemon started successfully*

I've tried in every connection mode, and I have the drivers installed. I've been trying every way possible. Also, for simplicity sake, could you tell me how to use the adb devices command? I'm tech savvy but pretty green to the development/programming side of things.

Also, once i uninstall Motorola Device Manager, do I have to manually uninstall more drivers, or does that get them all? If not, how do I manually uninstall the drivers?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29609879
I was having the exact same issue where it was hanging at daemon started successfully. Was totally a driver issue. Follow the link in my link...
I would suggest completely uninstalling everything Moto from your PC, rebooting and then follow the steps again, being sure to install those new drivers that are linked in that post.
Edit: I'm trying to remember when I did it....but I seem to recall having a bit of weirdness when I installed the new drivers. I had the install driver wizard pop up while I was installing the drivers from the moto driver executable. I just let the wizard sit there and wait while the moto driver installer did its thing.
So, instead of uninstalling all that is Moto on my laptop, I moved the Moto Device Driver executable and the batch files (with Su and Superuser.apk and all the extras to my desktop. Ran the moto executable and plugged my phone in to install the drivers and rebooted the computer. Still nothing. Do i need adb on my desktop to root my phone? I'm getting flustered with this. It really should be working one way or the other....
Same issue for me..i reinstalled drivers and connected the phone in media transfer mode..rest of procedure same..am successfuly rooted now

I tried and tried to reinstall the drivers, and even installing them on a different PC didn't work. Finally, I did a factory reset, and the phone was recognized by ADB. Thankfully, I am now rooted and on SCv7!! (Thanks to Jimbridgman, Ikrasner, and a couple other devs.) Thank you all.
I posted this before but didn't get much response and I still have this problem. I rooted my phone using the 1.85 method, and am currently rooted, but not unlocked. I've tried to unlock the bootloader, but since device manager does not detect the device I can't unlock it. The phone charges when connected to the PC (IO panel, not front), but the connection type does not appear in the notification pull-down, and device manager does not display the device. This wasn't true before rooting, and now that my PC can't detect the phone I can't unlock and I can't copy over files from my PC to my phone. I have current drivers successfully installed, and I haven't updated any software beyond stock on my phone (1.85, 4.0.3), though AT&T has tried to push an update on my phone this morning.
How can I solve my problem? This is my first Android phone, and I wanted to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash ROMs and develop my own, but at the moment it isn't possible.

In 1.85, there was the option to default your connection type. It may be set to charge only. Check your settings. This may be the issue.

As it seems the USB port I was using wasn't connected properly to the motherboard, so I had to do some tinkering there. It all worked out though*, thanks for the help.
*Except that I accidentally installed the OTA update instead of postponing it and removing notifications... Now begins the wait for a 2.23 root method. Woe is me.
